I hope to stay in touch with old friends,and I have made many new friends with this blog. Scrapbooking has become my new passion.I was introduced to the hobby by my youngest daughter.She went on a trip to South Africa and came home to Greece with a collection of papers ,flowers, brads and glue.SO the mania began,it is a mania that gives me such pleasure,creating gives one a great sense of achievement....

Art Journaling Like Crazy!!

Hi there Dear Friends...
As I said on facebook, my poor L.O. has taken a back seat..my CSI L.O. has been 90% finished since Tuesday....I have been on a Journaling high!
As I told you in my last post it is all Eleni's fault..she digs up all of these challenges, and then we want to play too...
I am very late for the V word on the Alpha Challenge , but when I heard letter V from Eleni I knew I wanted to art the word VENERATE....this page is inspired by an embroidery my Gran embroidered for the church when I was a little girl...I would admire it each Sunday at church......I stamped with gold using my own hand-carved stamp and I wrote the Jesus Prayer and the Hail Mary as backgrounds...So here it is anyway.

The next page is for An A and Z for Me....I like this challenge as it is very inspirational...and I am going through a difficult patch at the moment so this site is just what the doctor ordered!

And I am sure that my Husband told them to choose F for fitness...he nags me each and every day that I need to get away from my desk and go and excercise!!

So note to self....

The first layer of medium on this page is all of the scrap pieces of paper that were lying on my desk....they make for beautiful texture!

Christmas is here!

I am Being watched!!

Get Creative

I am a person that always likes to be busy with some project or another.I am a mom of 3 children, whilst bringing them up I always had some hobby or another , amongst some my favourites were Dress Designing and dress-making, Ikebana flower arranging, pottery.....my love that I had to stop, due to sore wrists.

My latest mania is scrapbooking.......and I am having fun!!! Very important to ones wellbeing
